Song of Australia

Stephen Crabbe was born in Adelaide, South Australia. His twin passions from the earliest years were music and language in all its forms. He studied classical pianoforte from the age of five, read books whenever possible and loved to explore all other languages. Stephen took up education as a profession. This career took him into schools in several different roles, but eventually he chose to be a full-time music educator. Writing was always a compulsion for Stephen, but in later years it drew more attention. He contributed scripts for screen productions and wrote articles for online publications. The main focus of his writing now is fiction, especially of the historical kind. He lives in the rural south-west of Australia.
